Question

A businesswoman is considering two options. The first option is to go into business for herself. She will have $30,000 in total revenue; $23,500 in purchases and $3,000 in utilities costs. She will not have labor costs since she will work alone. She will not pay rent since she is using her own building, and will not have interest payments since she is using her own money. The second option is to work for someone else for wages of $3,000. In addition, she would rent her building for $2,000. Should this businesswoman go into business for herself or work for someone else? Be sure to take into in your analysis the explicit and implicit costs.

Explanation / Answer

Going into business by herself

Profit=$30,000-$23,500-$3000=$3500

Work for someone=$3000+$2000=$5000

So she gets more by working for someone. So she should work for someone.
